Item Description
Only of only a few known examples. 1.25". Classic portrait image of Wagner in Pittsburgh Pirates uniform. Text on top/bottom rims and pair of tiny stars right/left center rim. Honus is widely regarded as the greatest all-around shortstop in Major League Baseball history, finishing with career numbers of .328, 101 HR's, 1,732 RBI's, 1,739 R's, & 723 SB'S. Wagner was inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame as part of the five player inaugural class in 1936. Some oxidation on metal back. Moderate staining on front, mostly around rim and none affecting the image. Small trace of surface wear under magnification but surface remains totally glossy. Image is still strong and distinct. VG. A true Wagner rarity and one of the earliest baseball collectibles produced of the "Flying Dutchman". Paul Muchinsky Collection.
